At the oddly eerie melody, Leopold paused for a moment. Even the nobles who were enjoying the music looked bewildered.
This was music that would be used at an engagement ceremony.
“What kind of performance is this congratulatory performance like a play?”
At that moment, when everyone was buzzing, bright lights poured onto the stairs. As the door on the stairs opened, amid falling colorful petals, someone walked into the spotlight.
“Who is that?”
“Is that person Etel Yeong-ae?”
The Emperor, who was blinking his eyes, momentarily turned to look at Leopold. Leopold, who was standing next to him, had already leaped up the stairs.
Even if he was stupid, to create such a scene when envoys from another country had come!
With a boiling rage from the neck to the head, the situation was increasingly becoming a farce.
Maria, dressed in overly flashy white, was brightly smiling. It was as if her figure was buried amid the twinkling lights.
“What on earth is this?”
Even in the face of anger, Maria spoke cheerfully as if performing in a play.
“This is our engagement ceremony. Leopold.”
“…What?”
“His Highness also willingly accepted it, didn’t he? This formal engagement ceremony.”
Maria, with a voice mixed with coquetry, took Leopold’s arm. From Leopold’s contorted face, vitality emanated. However, Maria didn’t step back.
It was an engagement ceremony held under the protection of Her Majesty, the Empress, and Duke Elkin.
Above all, she did not want to become anything like the government.
“What—”
“Even more splendid than what you did with the Duchess. Don’t you remember?”
Maria blinked and said. In that moment, a voice floated into Leopold’s mind.
“Please showcase me as your official fiancée. It would make it easier for me to perform my duties.”
How could one interpret those words like this? Dumbfounded, Leopold was at a loss for words. Seeing this differently, Maria’s face brightened once again.
“If envoys from another country attend as guests, it will be more splendid than my engagement ceremony. Don’t you think so?”
Her playful voice rang triumphantly. Leopold gritted his teeth.
I don’t know where it went wrong, but the urgent matter now was the envoys from another country. It needed to be resolved quickly somehow.
The Prince, who had turned right behind, looked down at the banquet hall. Then, he opened his mouth with a sharp tone.
“The current situation…”
Just a simple happening. It was a matter that needed to be smoothed over, even if it meant treating Maria like a crazy woman.
But when he met the green eyes staring at him in the banquet hall, Leopold couldn’t say anything. His lips tightened, and his head turned pale. His breath became labored as if it were being taken away. All his focus was solely on Olivia.
Ironically, he wished Olivia would say something, anything. If Olivia just said everything was fine, everything would be fine, he felt. It was a desperate desire that emerged.
Olivia lightly smiled.
As if she knew it would happen.
Leopold swallowed the breath that hadn’t been released, as if choking on it. Even biting his teeth, pain pierced through his chest as if his lungs were being stabbed.
He should have known. What that restless emotion was. He should have realized. What the anxiety, like hanging on the edge of a cliff, was.
As the gaze met, a sharp sensation pierced elegantly above the heart.
Leopold muttered as if squeezed.
“Oh, Olivia…”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
